The Rocky Mountain News building at W. Colfax and Elati Street on Block 011-W is under demolition.
The former newspaper building is being razed to make way for the new Denver Justice Center. When the new Justice Center parking garage is complete on Block 020-W, the existing US Post Office next door on Block 012-W can move into the new garage’s ground-floor retail space, allowing then the existing post office building and the other structures on Block 012-W to be demolished. With both Blocks 011-W and 012-W clear, construction can begin later this year on the new Courthouse and Detention Facility components of the $378 million city Justice Center. The entire project will be complete in 2009.
Here are a couple of photos from this weekend:
